If you have a choice to cook Sayur Lodeh from scratch or to cook Sayur Lodeh from a ready-made paste and the end result taste like the real thing, which option would you choose?
Years ago, the purist in me would baulk at the second option. How can a ready-made paste taste like the original with all the preservatives added? My Thai neighbour played a major role in 
converting me when I asked her to teach me how to cook her delicious Thai Green Curry. Imagine the shock on my face when she told me she cooked it from a ready-made paste from
So for dinner last Friday, I decided to try out Prima Food Sayur Lodeh paste. I first saw it at the Prima Food Outlet at Centrepoint but the purist in me got the better of me as I doubted the authenticity of the flavour. It was only at Cold Storage Great City when the thoughts of a busy, stressful schedule in 2009 and special discounts that persuaded me to put the attractively packaged box into the trolley. I never regretted the decision!
With a fussy hubby who enjoys delicious, restaurant-standard cooking at home, the Prima Deli Sayur Lodeh ready-made paste is godsend! Just follow the instructions and add the recommended amount of vegetables, I also added a splash of Ayam Brand Coconut Milk to thicken the curry and within 20 minutes, you have Sayur Lodeh that tastes as good as the real thing on the dinner table. My hubby was really impressed!
I’ve also a quick tip to share – If you do not want a greasy kitchen after frying beancurd(tau kwa) for your Sayur Lodeh, go to Isetan Supermarket and buy the Japanese Fried Beancurd -2 pieces for $1.55. Surprisingly, the fried beancurd taste as delicious as the fried tau kwa that you slaved over the stove to fry.
